To CLARIFY: For mobility needs, the advice is still not to buy THIS "Laptop" but instead for the same money you can get a proper laptop with ability to upgrade components. THIS laptop is not good value for money in the Laptop world. Thanks to @TugaGuyDIY foir the reminder.

I bought the first version (2014) of this tablet/netbook in 2015, with 64G on chip SSD, brand new from local retailer. It was very cheap (about €280). Later upgraded its op system to windows 10. It was perfect. It's IPS screen is beautiful with brilliant, vivid colors. And regardless the 2 GB RAM, it was always fast. I watched movies on it, browsed the Internet, wrote emails. It was very convenient during flights. One of my best purchases. I love it. Or loved it.After 5 years of usage its display is broken. RIP. But overall I am content with this product. I would buy it again.

lmao this device was way ahead of it's time, however they limited the crap out of it. 1. They have a locked down UEFI so you need to install Windows 8 X32 with 32 bit EFI loader ( must be inside or no boot) 2. Need to disable secure boot, crazy locked down 3. limited ram 4. Limited Hardrive However this thing lasts a full 7 and a half hours even after 4 years. I use this as a VNC front end to a bunch of Servers here and this thing is just genius because I can bring the tablet and used it as a full tablet while still allowing USB hub with keyboard and mouse in case I want. It is just Acer was silly as this product with a proper full BIOS/UEFI combo, SSD port, Ram slots would of been a killer product. I still use this damn thing everyday lol.

@biomerl

The person who gets benefit from this is not going to care about the SSD or the upgrades, they want the portability and the switching. The fact the tablet even opens up as easy as it does is a glowing recommendation for it by my opinion, because the other tablets absolutely do not do it.
@jamesthecat
@jamesthecat Год назад
Yes, I totally understand the aversion to not being able to upgrade / swap out - that's what I would expect a good IT person/electronics repairer to say - but in practice this is great. In my experience laptops are just not truly portable unfortunately, 'transformers' are just the right weight, & the tablet is even better for flexibility & collaboration. And they've outlasted many surface tablets from the same era, due mostly to longer battery life.

@ArjanWiskerke
@ArjanWiskerke 7 лет назад
For me the acer switch 11 works perfectly. You have to consider that this is a tablet you can work for a very long time because it has a atom processor and SD-drive. Including a hard drive would spoil that property. The SD memory is slower but at least I can use this device during long train rides. At tip is to remove the windows installation files and the old windows installations and there is plenty of space to write lengthy reports including pictures. If more memory is needed you can install 64 GB, 80Mb/s SD card for 25 Euro.

this device is meant to be low on spec, as you have said this is not a laptop or desktop pc this is a tablet ... this device is good for those who just use it for web browsing or ms office work .. not for gaming or heavy works .. yes you can not upgrade it .. and i think you cant even upgrade the ram... i have a laptop and this tablet too and this tablet is very useful when i do not want to carry extra weight and just wanna do simple work like powerpoint presentation

With a little bit of miracle my local PC Store manage to do not only upgrade the storage they also added more memory from 4gb to 16gb and upgraded the processor to an i5 problem is its more heavier Edit: Mine is actually an 11 so i think that's not applicable to the 10

This tablet is a 64bit machine but 32bit boot. I am using the internal 32Gb memory for the main OS (in my case 64bit MX Linux) with a 128Gb micro SD card as /home folder; ie 160Gb potential storage. The internal ram can not be upgraded from 2Gb but MX Linux is very light weight.

On the 11inch version with the i3 processor you can replace the M2 ssd bij a bigger one, such a pity you can't change the memorysize. It's 4GB and you have to deal with it. On the base station you can add an extra drive.

After 4-5 years of usage this is a common problem of the early model. The display cannot be replaced, I think. It is glued very strongly to the plastic frame of the machine. It's a pitty, I loved my little machine. Mine has an 1200x800 LG display inside of it. I tried to remove it, without success.

@SirKrotusDevOp
@SirKrotusDevOp 3 года назад
No se puede, aunque el procesador soporta hasta 4GB RAM LPDDR3, este tipo de memorias vienen directamente soldadas en los SOCs junto al procesador y están pensadas para tener un menor consumo. Su principal propósito son montarlas en dispositivos como tablets y/o smartphones que usan 1.2 voltios y gastan un 30% menos que la DDR3.

I have this Netbook and they weren't manufactured for productivity they were just made for watching videos online using the internet emailing and stuff like that just like a tablet and it is great for that I also knew that you could not update the hard drive and yes the hard drive is very small however I put in a 256 gb. mini SD card and put a lot of stuff on that this Netbook is not garbage it is one of the better made for portable usage tablets like an iPad or a Samsung Android tablet which I have this unit is just as good as those however when I do any productive work I use much bigger much better laptops so again this Netbook (hence the term) was not made to produce movies or edit things or do any kind of productivity on it is just like a Samsung Android tablet for an iPad simple use only.

You need to open the screen and pry the battery jack from the Motherboard and wait for 10 seconds. Re-plug the jack and turn the power on. Its a bug in this laptop. I have faced the same problem many times but I have to carry spurge to tear down the cover whenever I encounter it.

@HealMyTech1
@HealMyTech1 5 лет назад
I don't have access to this device anymore. If memory serves right, with devices with embeded storage, its difficult to troubleshoot the storage component, which is one of the negatives of this type of device. You would need to boot into BIOS/UEFI and try to see if you can spot the boot device physically, if yes, then maybe just the boot sector is corrupted and it may be fixed by rebuilding the BCD (google is your friend). Sometimes the boot device may have been unselected, so you just need to reselect it or rest the BIOS to default. If you can't see the device in you boot device, then its possible that the storage chip is damaged, in which case a "CHKDSK" command from Command Pompt. may help to a certain extend (again google is your friend). If that fails, then I'm afraid you are looking a t a failed storage device, and would need replacing, if you can find someone to do that for reasonable price, unless of course there is something else wrong with your motherboard. There could be other issues. Sorry but I can't say for sure without accessing the device physically and troubleshooting. This may help to find you storage device or at least eliminate possibilities, although its for a laptop the principle is the same: No Bootable Device Insert Boot Disk And Press Any Key - Easy Troubleshoot & Recommended Fix ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4TZUnW-s7w8.html
